/// A lock is "poisoned" when the thread panics while holding the lock. Once a
/// lock is poisoned, all other threads are unable to access the data by
/// default, because the data may be tainted (some invariant of the data might
/// not be upheld).

/// The [`lock`] and [`try_lock`] methods return a [`Result`] which indicates
/// whether the lock has been poisoned or not. The [`PoisonError`] type has an
/// [`into_inner`] method which will return the guard that normally would have
/// been returned for a successful lock. This allows access to the data,
/// despite the lock being poisoned.
///
/// Alternatively, there is also a [`clear_poison`] method, which should
/// indicate that all invariants of the underlying data are upheld, so that
/// subsequent calls may still return [`Ok`].
